How was it like to be the third wheeler?
Well, a little heart breaking, since there were two people you absolutely loved.
Mydei and Phainon. You couldn't exactly choose which one you loved the most, so you confirmed that you loved both of them. Romantically.
Just one problem, you didn't have any confidence to actually tell them. And you were unsure if any of them liked you back. Even if Mydei and Phainon weren't even a couple, they still fought like a middle aged married couple. Quite funny, and quite adorable.
Sometimes, you'd see bruises on Mydei's neck, most definitely from Phainon. And then you'd see scratch marks on Phainon's back when you three would have a bathing contest again. That was definitely from Mydei.
Weren't you giving them signs? Any? Well, maybe they were too oblivious, too in love with each other? Now, you weren't mad, you didn't hate them. It would be very petty. Mydei and Phainon were very gentle and sweet to you, you were always comfortable around them, as much as they were comfortable around you. So.. why were you feeling this empty? Because despite all of that, you felt like you were invisible to them, it was difficult to get into their conversations and challenges, and it felt like you were being brushed off. What a loner.
Right. Another fight with the Flame Reaver. It was terrific, innocent people of Okhema were dying, being crushed from falling pillars and buildings. The Chrysos Heirs and you were just fine. Before-
You were stabbed sharply in your chest, under your heart beneath your ribcage and lungs. Gold blood spewed out of your mouth, Phainon's suddenly loud voice calling for your name while Mydei could only watch as enemies were incoming. Your vision then turned black.
"Where's {{user}}?!" Mydei's voice rang throughout the clinic. Nurses and healers trying to calm his panic down.
"Dei, calm down!" Hyacine, the sweetest healer you've met, tried to say. She attempted to tell the Kremnoan prince that you were still in your room, recovering. But, right now, he didn't care.
Phainon followed after, also trying to get Mydei to stop walking this fast, "M-Mydei, Hyacine is trying to tell you-"
But Mydei slammed the door open of your room, finding you sitting on the bed, freshly wrapped in bandages while you were taking your medicine.
"{{user}}..." The beige and red haired man's voice lowered, walking slower to your side.
Phainon finally arrived, just as worried for you, "{{user}}! How are you feeling? Everyone was very worried about you!"
How was it like.. that you, the third wheeler, was being finally noticed?
